![]() ![]() This is the same list that Tim claims didn’t exist and then later changed his story to ‘is old and was never official’. Long story short.Ī good while back a FEG associate posted on AKFiles to put together a ‘will buy’ name list to gauge interest in these rifles. 308 case head and rim, correct? Have to modify the extractor at all? Would love some close up pics of that if possible just to see what it looks like.Ĭlick to expand.Yep. Sounds like he took a Russian 7.62x54R bolt and brazed in a ring so it works with the. Interested in any additional info you can provide about what Mark did to accurize your rifle. Basically, it was a quick way to ensure the right scope went to the right (zeroed) rifle when being issued. The number on the stock and scope won't match the rest of the serial numbered parts on the rifle, but those two should match as the number on the stock is that of the matched/zeroed scope. 308 NDM with the unmolested firing pin.Ģ. Not everyone sent their rifles back though, so you can sometimes find a. 308 NDMs came in and slam fires from commercial ammo became a reported issue CDNN offered a recall in which they added the spring and drilled a hole in the firing pin for it. Specifically, the bolt stem is bored open to a larger diameter so the spring and bushing the spring rests on can fit inside the bolt stem. The Russian Tigr hunting rifles do have a factory designed firing pin with spring along with a different bolt to match. The firing pins and bolts on military Chinese rifles, like their Russian counterparts, were never designed to have a firing pin spring. 308 NDM back in 2014-15 when I was in full bore collecting mode.ġ. ![]() With civilian 148 grain Russian ammo a good one will shoot 2 -2.5 MOA, depending on ammo quality. With surplus "machine gun" ammo even a good one will shoot groups upwards of 2-3 MOA. If you get one with a bad barrel, it's a 1.5-2 MOA rifle. If you get an SVD with a good barrel and develop a good load, it will shoot sub-MOA. Additionally, some years of 7N1 are better than others, so the result depends on the ammo too, even if you are shooting proper Russian sniper ammo. And even that, frankly speaking, is completely optional. There isn't much gunsmithing or accurizing to it, aside from slight clean up of locking lugs. Mostly it's about the barrel, if you get a really good one SVD will shoot very well with quality ammo. Sometimes two rifles with consecutive or very close serial numbers would show different groups. When we shot brand new out of the crate military SVDs, some would shoot better than others with the 7N1 ammo coming out of the same can. ![]() Some rifles turned out great, others not so much. USSR was not exactly known for consistency of manufacturing. With everythin made in the former USSR, a lot depends on the luck of the draw. Handloading has been illegal in Russia up until 2018, so they have to rely on factory ammo, which tends to suck. Special order Tigrs can have any twist you want, and Russians generally prefer 320mm as it is more accurate with the ammo they typically shoot in these. I believe that up to 1994 Tigr had 240mm twist, and 320mm after 1994. With Tigr hunting carbines, the barrel is 530mm long, so it is shorter than both that of a full-length SVD (620mm) and SVDS (565mm). Overall, I Chinese rifles are reportedly of same and at times better quality than Russian, but I have never shot one. I don't know what twist the Chinese went with for the NDM-86, so I don't know which ammo it will like. Some export versions have 280mm twist (1:11) according to the factory, which is a compromise between 240 and 320mm. They stabilize heavier bullets better, Russian 200 grain match ammo works well in these. From 1969 to present the military SVDs have 240mm twist (1:9.44). Good luck finding one of these rifles in the US. These rifles shoot 150-ish grain bullets very well, including 7N1 sniper ammo. Military SVDs made from 1963 to 1969 have a 320mm barrel twist (approximately 1:12.6). I know of three different barrel twists that SVDs come with, and it makes a difference in which bullets it likes and how well it shoots them. ![]() For example fire control group won't interchange between the two. The NDM-86 is a copy of SVD, but not an exact one. ![]()
